The Delhi High Court refused blanket interim protection to BJP MP Raghav Chadha in his personality rights suit over alleged AI-generated deepfakes and defamatory posts. The Court, however, ordered removal of five posts found prima facie defamatory while rejecting claims against other content.
In a rare and significant order, the Delhi High Court protected senior advocate Vikas Pahwa’s personality and publicity rights after his identity was misused for financial fraud. The ruling recognises that a lawyer’s reputation is built on “integrity, courtroom conduct, and trust”, not commercial endorsements.
